To Z ywhom t may concern Be it known that 1,'LiNNAEUs E. BAKER, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Foi't'Wayi/ie, inthe county of Michaud State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful 'Improveuients in l-lousings'for Dispensing Apparafrom tampering second, to provide a movable section ofthe housing so arranged Vthat the operating.

mechanism ofjthe dispensing apparatus contained vwithin the housing may be completely exposed and'renderedaccessible ttor opera.

tion; third, to so arrange the'v movable sec tion of the housing" as to retain compactness of the complete apparatusivhen the movable section is in 'its open position;v fourth, t0 so mount thevmo'vable section ofthe housing that it may he opened or closed with but lit-A tle `physical eHort; and fifth. t0 provide means of illumination forY the operating4 mechanism-contained in the space between the domcand pedestal.

The above objects are raccomplished by the construction,illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:` Figure '1 is an elevation showing the exterior ot' the device,

Similar characters yof reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views and referring now to the same:

The housing is composed of three princi-l pal parts, (l) constituting the pedestal, (2)

the dome, and (3) themovable section.

The pedestalV (i) is of cyiindricai form and is shown with a series of integral, vertical -columns (4).` Upon the outermost part of each of the columns is a projecting ribr (a), the ribs serving as guides for the movable section (3) as it is being shifted telescopically over thepedestal. Thedome is supported rigidly upon tubular'posts that are seated at brackets'() that project within the pedesfixed at'their upper ends in The dome Vmay he of any desired (form, as per example: An extension (9) with a superimposed ,globe (10() for .ornamentation ,and illumination. The

posts 6) have threaded connection at their. tops in the brackets (8) respectively, andin the lower end of each post isa threaded plug (15) that ,rests upon the correspending bracket (7) and is secured thereto by means of a bolt 16).

(3) Yis lguided over the pedestal-by the ribs and also by guides-(20) that are secured to the movable section at its interior upper edge shapedl to conform respectively with the adjacent surfaces of thefcorresponding tubular posts uponwhich they `are adapted to slide as the movable section is raised or lowered.. Each.of the guides (21) vthat affords the means or cableV (12).. l

The pedestal (l) 'has in its wall near the lower end thereof a removabledoor (22) which, whenremoved, admits of access to the interior of the pedestal. At the top of the pedestal flange (23) that affords a seat for'the cylinder-head (24) of the dispensing "apparatus that is inclosed within the housing, thecylinder--head having a` lange (25) that extends over the yflange (23) on the pedestalv rests thereupon. VBolts 4tached tothe cylindei-head and supported thereby is lcontained within the pedestal and concealed ronr view.` vThe operating mech. anism (28) of thedisperising apparatus is arranged .upon the cylinder-head andextends upwardly within the space between the pedestal .andthe dome so that the same may be exposed. and made accessible for operation when the movable section is in provided'with two open position, y v The dispensing apparatus in this instance is orhandling liquids such as gasolene, oils, etc.,"and consists ofthe cylinder conu 'taining a Yplunger (29) and having an inlet (30) Vfor liquid, the cylinder being attached to the head. (24) ;y and the operating mechanism (2S) that is constructed t'o actuate the l plunger, a crank (31) being-provided for the purpose of manipulating thesame. The dispensingapparatus herein' shown is :also dischargepipes (32) and (33)lrespectivelyytlieformer extends upwardly. toga point approximately Within the' dome and has in connection therewith" a flex ible discharge member .(34), and the latter` l beingv y 1 horizontally disposed and being bc swung 'upon its connectionl adapted to (19) lothat the movable-sec- Athe dome so that its connection with savages with a vertical outlet pipe (35) that has communication through the cylindershead withthe pump-cylinder. The discharge pipe (33) has at its outer extremity a faucet (36) and vis proportioned as to length so; that `when swung 'to innermost position it will be encompassed by the movable section, when the latter` is closed, and when swung to its outermost position will overhang the same. In some instances'it is desirable to extend the discharge pipe (32) upwardly through the exihle discharge member (34) will he on the exterior Aof the housing as shown in Fig. l.

Within the housing is an electrical conduit-(53T) that to the lamp (38) 'that is located within the globe (l0). The conduit is. of the usual. type containing wires for transmitting elec,- tric current. A feaL .re of the invention is extends up through the vdome the arrangement oJ a lamp (39) Ywithin the dome for illuininatmg the operating mech-` anism of the dispensing apparatus and the preparation ot' the surface of the interior of the dome with a coating of white enamel.
